914Club members. After much deliberation I have decided to get out of Porsches for a while. The Boxster is gone and I have just about talked myself into letting the 914 go.

(IMG:http://www.hifidesign.com/studio_ftp/hifi_uploads/914/1974_914.jpg)

For those who don't know my car it is a 1974 with a few mods:
Raby 2270 TYPE IV
Full chassis & body restoration by Patrick Motorsport
- New paint, sail panels, all rubber moldings replaced with Porsche parts,
- New windsheild & windshield trim
- Carerra front suspension and brake upgrades (5 lug conversion)
- Coil overs in rear with PM rear brake upgrade (handbrake IS functional)
- Adjustable front sway bar
- Rebuilt Transaxle
- Fiberglass decklids & bumpers
- 6 x 16 Fuchs
New interior using German materials from World Upholstery
New interior & trunk carpets via Morphenspectra plus headliner
Decklid struts & original Blaupunkt from Camp 914

Well over $50k spent to date, litterally no expense spared. Car has won it's class in 3 PCA events (out of 3 entered) and has been featured in a few Regional PCA mags.

I hate to put it on eBay if I don't absolutely have to. I want to find it a good home and still get a fair price. So, what should I be asking for this car? What is it really worth in the market today?
